Abstract

With the discovery of SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS and the attempt to supervene it on the classical dynamics, the paradox of irreversibility showed up for the first time, as the laws of classical dynamics, in contrast to the SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS, were reversible and symmetric with respect to time. In this paper, after reviewing the PROBLEM OF IRREVERSIBILITY, we pin down two rival approaches to the problem. The first approach whose pioneer is Ilya Prigogine claims that irreversibility arises out of dynamical instabilities defined as “disorder” at microscopic level. However, according to the rival theory, which is advocated by Price and Bricmont, irreversibility at macroscopic level arises out of specific INITIAL CONDITIONS of the world. This is not contrasted with the notion of irreversibility at microscopic level. Although the two rival theories are completely different with respect to their theoretical foundations, I will show that one can trace a consensus in a view that reversibility is “practically in principle” impossible. This is the term I have coined for the commonality between the two opposed theories.
